Just as you right-click on your avatar to edit its appearance, you can right-click and select either Change Outfit or Edit My Outfit. Click Change Outfit to see a list of all the outfits you have saved in your inventory. If you select Edit My Outfit, you will see a list of the items your avatar is currently wearing. If an item is "editable," you can click on the little icon to the right of its name and you will have the opportunity to move sliders to change various aspects of the item. You can use the sliders to change colors, sleeve and pants lengths, etc. You can have tall or short shoes, low or high heels. There are thick heels and pointy heels, thick toes and pointy toes.

Of course, you can spend Linden dollars to acquire all types of clothing in Second Life.

If you have a good graphics application, such as Photoshop, you can also create your own.
